I am pretty sure we have the craziest nicknames ever for our children.
Olivia’s craziest nickname would have to be Livi-Skivvy. Josh likes to shorten that to Skivvies. Which means “underwear,” for those of you who aren’t British. Or pirates.
Benjamin seems to have a few more crazy nicknames than Olivia. Possibly because I am a bit more crazy these days. And they are as follows:
Benjamite.
Benja-ninja. I just made that one up. Oh yeah.
VitameataBenjamin. (Do you pop out at parties? Are you unpoopular?) This is by far my favorite. As I am an avid “I Love Lucy” fan.
What crazy nicknames do you have for your babies?
It figures that a girl who had 12 different AIM names in high school/College would have nicknames for her children. 🙂
We don’t have too many creative nicknames for Lexi. We call her Lexi Lou sometimes, or Lexi Lou Who. our nicknames tend not to be so nice, like “bubble butt” – those cloth diapers make for a big tush. or of course Stinky when she’s not smelling so hot. 🙂 I do sometimes call her peanut, princess or pumpkin.
You know, I hate to admit this, but our nickname for our daughter is P.P. It’s a nickname that will embarrass her later, I’m sure, and it also earns us some strange looks in public.
And Stinkerbell or Stinkerpoo.
What I think is dumb are those people who are determined *not* to nickname their children. Don’t they realize school/friends/relatives will quickly fix that?
I can’t believe I forgot to say tat my nieces used to call me Aunt Caca. yup. that’s me. They had a hard time saying Jessica, so I got Caca. it was even better when I got married and they thought my last name was McTurdy. Just call me Caca McTurdy. That’s a pretty stinky nick name huh? luckily the only thing that ever stuck was caca, but they have grown out of that now- FEW!
Okay, our Olivia is LiverPie. Yep, that’s hubs pet name for her. Or Liver Snap, like the dog treat. When she had to get stitches a few years back he called her LiverStein. Or sometimes we just refer to her as The Dark One.
Grace is Sis or Sissie. This derived from Olivia not being able to say Gracie. Gracie = Sissie. Not real imaginative there.
Isaac is Izzy. He’s 16 with muscles and doesn’t particularly care for that name. Most of the time I just call him Boy.
Madison is Madgirl or Mad. Which, ironically, is appropriate for her 14yo teenage angst.
And Hope had become Hopers, Hopey, Hope-a-Dope and the list is growing.
And I thought we were the only ones who made up weird pet names for our children. Hmm
